Since the May Fourth Movement, Hu Shih has behaved as a humble gentleman. was sarcastically scolded in public, and he could smile at it, but at this time he finally lost his temper and scolded the dirty words.

Zhou Hexuan terminated his relationship with Chen Guangfu, turned around and asked Hu Shi: "Brother Shizhi, are you still in peace?" ”

Hu Shidie stared at the photos of the massacre, shook his head and said: "There is still a glimmer of life in the War of Resistance, and the quest for peace will inevitably be lost." If 40,000,000 people surrender with their hands, they will all be reduced to lambs to the slaughter. ”

"Good, you've finally figured it out." Zhou Hexuan said with relief.

In later generations, there were many people who scolded Hu Shi, and the reason was Lord He. However, Hu Shi was not the only one who made peace, but the academic bulls Chen Yinke and Mr. Wu Mi, who were also the main peacemakers in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

In academia, this list of masters can be very long. For example, Jiang Menglin, president of Peking University, Zhou Binglin, professor of Peking University Law School, Jiang Tinghuang, Chen Zhimai, etc., etc., are too many to count.

Among the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang, Wang Zhaoming, Kong Xiangxi, Zhang Qun, Ju Zheng, Yu Youren, Chen Lifu, Yan Xishan, Xu Yongchang, Wang Chonghui, Chen Bui, and Wei Daoming are either in favor of peace or tend to compromise.

Can you believe it? Mr. Chen Yinke, who is well-known, once said this kind of thing personally: "Resistance will destroy the country, and submission is the best policy."

These two sentences are from Mr. Wu Mi's diary, which was said on the seventh day after the outbreak of the July Seven Incident, when the two walked and chatted after dinner. Chen Yinke believes that by ceding North China and seeking peace, it will be possible to keep South China in peace, and may be able to gradually restore the country in the future. If there is a war, the whole country will be destroyed, and China will be doomed forever.

So much so that after the fall of Nanjing, Chang Kaishen lamented in his diary: "The literati are old and decrepit in advocating peace with military defeats, and many high-ranking generals are despondent and hopeful for peace, and even more opportunistic...... Recently, people from all sides and important comrades have believed that a military defeat is indispensable for seeking peace quickly, and almost unanimously agrees. ”

In the view of Xu Yongchang, Minister of Military Command, there are actually only a limited number of people who openly advocate peace, and there are more hidden peacemakers. Because the public lord and the peace will be scolded as traitors, the greater the official position and the more powerful the person, often duplicity, shouting the war of resistance and inclined to compromise.

Even in Xu Yongchang's eyes, the local leaders with military strength, after Liu Xiang's death, only the Communist Party and the Gui faction were the real main battle factions, and the rest were suspicious.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Chang Kaishen was very isolated, and it was only by relying on the dictatorship of the cadres that China was pulled into the chariot of resistance against Japan.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhaoming dared to defy the world's condemnation and embarked on the road of openly seeking peace in the winter of 1938. He thinks he can respond to every call, but the real powerful people don't follow him, and he is surrounded by political frustrations.

At that time, the trend of public opinion was: defeat is forgivable, and words and guilt.

Regarding Wang Zhaoming's "Yandian", although countless people scolded him, there was no shortage of sympathy and resonance. Because they think the same way, it's just that Wang Zhaoming became a traitor, and they didn't dare to be a traitor.

Even in the summer of 1939, this general tendency of the military and political bureaucracy to compromise did not change, Wang Zizhuang, secretary of the Central Party of the Kuomintang, wrote in his diary: "...... Speaking from the heart, at present, those who can support the overall situation and be resolute and indomitable seem to be the only one (Lao Jiang). Since the rest of the civil and military officers, those who look forward to speed and peace and dare not speak out are everywhere, and finally with the prestige of Mr. Jiang, they cannot but obey absolutely, endure pain, and persevere to the end. Mr. Wang's departure is a representative of the general knowledgeable. ”

We have exposed many of Chang Kaishen's black backgrounds before, but to tell the truth, Lao Jiang's contribution to the war is very huge, even if he has all kinds of micro-operations to harm his teammates. Nine times out of ten, those military and political officials around him wanted to negotiate peace as soon as possible, but Lao Jiang suppressed it through dictatorial means.

This is also the reason why even in the later stages of the Anti-Japanese War, there were still many enthusiastic young people who supported Chang Kaishen, believing that only a wise leader and dictatorship could resist to the end.

It is conceivable that now that Guangzhou has been lost, Wuhan will soon be abandoned, and nearly half of China's territory has fallen, how low the morale of those military and political officials should be. Some people even believe that China was able to hold out for a year without dying quickly because Japan has not yet come to the real thing.

Chen Yinke was even more pessimistic, and directly said in the poem, "The south should think about the past, and the north will be cut off for the next life." He compared China to the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, believing that victory in the War of Resistance was impossible, and the recovery of North China could only wait until the next life.

It's okay for you to be pessimistic yourself, why do you want to write poetry and let this negative emotion affect more people?

In later generations, there was a book describing the southward migration of literati called "Crossing the South and Returning to the North", and the title of the book is quoted here, but it is inevitably a little inappropriate, and not all the literati are as pessimistic as Chen Yinke.

After the fall of Pingjin, Mr. Chen Sanli resolutely refused to surrender to Japan, went on a hunger strike for five days, and died of grief.

Of course, we can't criticize Chen Yinke to death, he is just too pessimistic and negative, but he still has a patriotic heart. At least when Chen Yinke was in Hong Kong, he refused the coercion and temptation of the Japanese twice and went to the rear of Southwest University to become a teacher.

Chen Yinke's thoughts and actions are contradictory, but he can represent a large part of the literati. He was both pessimistic and disappointed with the current situation, and wrote poems complaining that Lao Chiang's anti-Japanese war was a one-man act, and he gambled on the future of the country as a gamble. Faced with the temptation of 400,000 oceans of Japanese invaders, he was able to risk death twice to refuse, and went to the poor countryside in the southwest to live a hard life, and starved while teaching and doing research.

Hu Shi's choice was different, he had exactly the same idea as Chen Yinke in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and then quickly completed the change of thinking.

Or it has never changed, Hu Shi has always been a "doer" and a "pessimist".

Before the July 7 Incident, Hu Shi jumped up and down to seek peace, and repeatedly asked for the appointment of China's ambassador to Japan, wanting to contribute to the friendship between China and Japan. Seeing that war was inevitable, Hu Shi jumped up and down again, and repeatedly asked to serve as China's ambassador to the United States, trying to persuade the United States to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war.

Maybe Lao Jiang was so annoyed that he appointed Hu Shi as a special envoy and threw him to the United States, no matter how he tossed around in the United States.

Even now, Hu Shih believes that China's war of resistance will be lost, unless the United States can stand up and help. He did not write poems like Chen Yinke, but spared no effort to promote in the United States.

In the past, Hu Shi wrote articles in China, often praising the politics and culture of the Japanese, criticizing China's politics and culture as useless, and calling on China to learn from Japan. And now, Hu Shih is trying his best to beautify China and Japan, just to gain the recognition and assistance of the American people.

Hu Shi is naïve and admirable.

Chen Yinke is real, and he is also worthy of admiration.

The difference between the two is that the literati made different choices when the national crisis was at hand.

……

PS: There are many readers who are dissatisfied with the previous plot and say that Lao Wang relies on selling meat as a gimmick. In other words, can Zhou Hexuan and Yu Peichen sell meat? Lao Wang has been studying the materials of the Nanjing Massacre for the past few days, and he has finished watching "Rabe's Diary", "Weitling's Diary" and Ma Ji's documentaries, plus those photos, to be honest, his mental state is very bad.

When coding words, Lao Wang unconsciously substituted for the protagonist. Zhou Hexuan sorted out first-hand information, which is more comprehensive, direct and bloody, and if he is not affected, he will be a superman. To vent, one is to watch comedy to relax, and the other way is "sex", which the author himself thinks is reasonable.

Of course, accepting Yu Peichen is also considered to be the completion of a plot, because I really don't know what to do. The ending of Yu Peichen in history, you can search for it on the Internet, but please don't discuss it in the comment area and chapters, all in order to prevent harmony.
